He made the comments after watching an episode of the ABC series Redfern Now centred around a gay Indigenous man who fights his deceased partner's mother for custody of his daughter after a fatal accident.

"Watching redfern now & they promoting homosexuality! (Like it's ok in our culture) that ain't in our culture & our ancestors would have there head for it! Like my dad told me GOD made ADAM & EVE not Adam & Steve," Mundine posted.

Rachel Perkins, whose production company Blackfella Films is behind the series, described Mundine's comments as deeply upsetting and wrong.
